The rapper placed a $100 bet on the Philadelphia Eagles at 8/1 to win the 2019 Super Bowl as well as $100 on the New England Patriots at 6/1 admitting he always “bets with the heart”.

Commenting on the news William Hill CEO Philip Bowcock said: “We’ve seen incredible enthusiasm from sports fans at Ocean Resort Casino and we are delighted to open our second venue in New Jersey just a fortnight after betting became legal in the state.”
